FamilySearch News From RootsTech
Posted by Diane
FamilySearch's RootsTech
conference is going on now through Saturday in Salt Lake City, and
FamilySearch is taking the opportunity to make some
announcements:
- More than 6,700 people were pre-registered for RootsTech,
which is huge for a US genealogy conference. The number is
helped by the conference's location in Salt Lake City, home to
the Family History Library and to many members of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for whom researching
genealogy is a religious calling.
- About 2,000 teenagers signed up for a youth program on
Saturday.
- FamilySearch will soon be available in nine languages for
access by more people around the world. This is consistent with
the organization's increasing focus on historical records from
places besides the United States.
More RootsTech news to come!
